Exactly two weeks ago, I, along with Nancy Huehnergarth and Barbara Kowalcyk, launched a Change.org petition regarding plans to import processed and/or slaughtered chicken from China. Over the weekend the signature count crossed the 1/4 million mark, with a current signature total (as of this writing) at 267,436.
The strong response to the petition clearly reflects consumers’ legitimate concern regarding the importation of poultry and poultry products from a country with so many well-documented food safety lapses. I can only hope that our elected officials are listening, and I’ll of course keep you informed here of any response we may receive from them.
Thank you again to all who’ve shared and signed the petition so far!
